"Dashing through the Snow" Garland Civic Theatre
◆ Nov. 29-Dec. 16 ◆ Granville Arts Center It's four days before Christmas in the tiny town of Tinsel, Texas, and a parade of eccentric guests arrive at the Snowflake Inn to deck the halls with holiday hilarity.

You'll swear this family-friendly Jones/Hope/Wooten Christmas comedy is more fun than a joyride in a one-horse open sleigh!
